The person who woke up again was Xu Han.

Xu Han had just transmigrated when she was being beaten by Old Madam Xu. She saw a large crowd gathered outside the courtyard, and the low walls of the farmhouse were no match for the crowd of onlookers.

In a daze, I saw a tall man; this man was Lu Chuan.

At the same time, Lu Chuan also saw Xu Han. The two looked at each other, and suddenly Lu Chuan's heart tightened, as if he was about to lose something.

The man instinctively rushed into the yard, grabbed Old Mrs. Xu's cane, and said, "Stop hitting her!"

Grandma Xu was also startled. The man was very big and had a fierce look on his face. She couldn't help but tremble!

“This is my granddaughter. I can hit her if I want. What’s it to you?” Grandma Xu said fearfully.

Lu Chuan snatched the stick from Old Mrs. Xu's hand and threw it to the ground, then turned around and helped Xu Han, who was lying on the ground, up.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Xu finally realized what was happening and said, "Who are you?"

"How dare they break into my house and insult my granddaughter's chastity! If word gets out, how am I going to get a good price for her?"

That's right! Old Mrs. Xu was thinking that after this money-losing girl came of age, she could sell her to any widower or old bachelor and get a sum of money for nothing.

That's why I never sold it to a human trafficker, since the price they offered was too low, and it was more cost-effective to sell it to a widower or an old bachelor.

This was Xu Han's grandmother's truest thought, and no one else in the Xu family ever tried to stop her.

Even though Old Madam Xu beat someone so badly just now, not a single member of the Xu family came out to stop her, which shows how unpopular the original owner of this body was.

Upon hearing what Grandma Xu said, Lu Chuan asked, "How many do you want? I'll take her with me!"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xu immediately made an exorbitant demand: "You must buy ten taels of silver, not a penny less."

Upon hearing this, the people around gasped. Ten taels of silver was enough for a large family to live on for ten years, and even if they were frugal, they wouldn't spend ten taels of silver.

After all, the betrothal gifts for ordinary families were only one or two taels of silver, and some were only a few hundred coins.

In this era, although the weather has been favorable in recent years, even a genuine farmer, relying solely on the produce from his land and the odd jobs he does in town, can barely save a penny or two at the end of the year after covering the family's living expenses.

That old lady Xu is really daring!

Then a kind-hearted person couldn't help but speak up: "Grandma Xu, you're asking for way too much!"

"Look at your granddaughter, she's so small and frail, a gust of wind could blow her away. Would someone even pay ten taels of silver for her? Good girls aren't just any girl; they have everything you could want."

Others chimed in, "That's right! Look at how badly you beat your girl, she's barely breathing. Who knows how much it'll cost just for her medicine if you marry her!"

Just then, someone with sharp eyes noticed that the village doctor was also there and hurriedly said, "Dr. Liu, please take a look at this girl. She's badly injured."

Doctor Liu also saw Xu Han lying motionless on the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to take her pulse. Lu Chuan looked at Doctor Liu with a nervous expression and asked, "How is she?"

After taking her pulse, Doctor Liu looked troubled and said, "My medical skills are not good enough. This girl has a high fever and was beaten. In addition, she is usually very weak and has not eaten enough. I'm afraid she can't be saved!"

Dr. Liu's voice was quite loud, and everyone around heard it.

Everyone said that Old Mrs. Xu was too heartless. Although the villagers usually thought Xu Han was unlucky and kept their distance from her.

After all, Xu Han's parents were both dead, and the village was somewhat superstitious.

But ultimately, his heart wasn't bad. I've never seen anyone torture their granddaughter like this before. Although there are families that favor boys over girls, they don't even give them food!

Old Mrs. Xu is too cruel.
